Cleveland Clinic Recognizes New Strategies for Creating Vaccines for Avian Flu as a Top Ten Medical Innovation for 2009
Date:11/13/2008

gs, which permits an exact genetic match to the flu strains causing illness since there is no requirement for adapting the vaccine to grow in eggs.

"We are proud to have our technology recognized by the Cleveland Clinic as one of the top ten medical innovations of 2009," said Dr. Rahul Singhvi, President and CEO of Novavax. "VLPs represent a very promising approach to preventing the spread of influenza as we recently demonstrated with the announcement of favorable results in a Phase IIa human clinical trial of our VLP based pandemic influenza vaccine.

Novavax's Novel Manufacturing Approach

Novavax's manufacturing process makes it possible to potentially produce and distribute a vaccine matched to a pandemic strain in time to interrupt and/or halt a pandemic. Novavax's influenza VLPs are produced in insect cell culture, utilizing a manufacturing process that consists entirely of disposable, ready-to-use equipment. Current yields are 7 to 10 times higher than that of traditional egg-based or mammalian cell culture manufacturing. Because the Novavax process involves recombinant technology and does not require a live influenza virus, vaccine can be manufactured within 10 to 12 weeks of identification of a pandemic strain, approximately half the time required to manufacture egg-based vaccines. This new manufacturing approach permits rapid commissioning at a fraction of the cost of traditional, egg-based manufacturing facilities. VLP-based vaccines may represent an effective and affordable component of a pandemic solution for countries that do not currently have in-border pandemic vaccine production.
